London (Index Asset Management) 22th May, 2008: High inflation in Europe is set to create a clear deviation in stock market investors' preferences this year. It seems that food retail, commodity companies and utility shares would be in good demand. Increasing food and fuel costs have maintained price pressure around the globe. This has limited the ability of many central banks to cut interest rates even as a meltdown in the U.S. subprime mortgage market leads to slower growth.

Analysts are saying that “within stocks, retailers like Tesco and Metro, water group Veolia and utility EDF can provide a hedge against rising prices” Ronan Carr, European equity strategist at Morgan Stanley said that "what we've found historically in inflationary periods and especially in stagflationary periods, is you want to be in sectors that are the source of inflation, or which have inflationary pricing or decent pricing power."

Although higher inflation can disturb returns for equities, it is much worse for bonds. So there is a strong need of asset management solutions company for better advices.

Market analysts say that by opting for asset management services you can improve your investment performance and can also manage the financial risk exposure. You can also be offered diversification, liquidity and professional management service.
